The <time-modification> element

Parent element: <note>

Time modification indicates tuplets, double-note tremolos, and other durational changes. A <time-modification> element shows how the cumulative, sounding effect of tuplets and double-note tremolos compare to the written note type represented by the <type> and <dot> elements. Nested tuplets and other notations that use more detailed information need both the <time-modification> and <tuplet> elements to be represented accurately.
